00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			That's why Allah subhanho wa Taala
says something in the Quran the
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:07
			verse that I read earlier from
Surah Jaffe and verse 23 or 408
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:14
			Amanita Allahu Hawa. Have you seen
the one who has taken his Lord as
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18
			His desires? So his desires are
his Lord, that literally that's
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			what Allah is saying, This is what
people do that they've taken their
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			desires as the Lord.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			What are the Allahu Allahu Allah?
I mean, there's multiple ways to
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			read this, but Allah subhanaw
taala den has let him stray
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			because of his knowledge of what
this person was going to do. He's
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:36
			left him alone to do that then led
him straight, right? And then
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			after that, when it gets really
bad, Allah says, well, Hamada
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:43
			summary, Allah subhanho wa Taala
then puts a Sealander ears, on
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:49
			their hearing, and on their heart,
and a veil over their eyes or
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:49
			their sight.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			So then, after Allah subhanaw
taala, or beyond the law, who's
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			going to be able to guide this
person?
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:02
			Meaning, Allahu Akbar, what this
seems to indicate here is that
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:07
			when a person becomes so fixated
on other things, and becomes the
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:11
			slave of those things, then
eventually Allah gets so angry,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:17
			that He then puts a veil on their
ears, on their site, and on their
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			heart, so then they won't be able
to come out of that.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:27
			So then they stayed down in that
they stay and they just so focused
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			on everything else, and it becomes
difficult for them to get out of
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:34
			that. Unless somehow they find the
little room in there to call on
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			Allah subhanho wa Taala then Allah
extracts them.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Al
Hamdulillah

00:02:36 --> 00:02:41
			And it's wisdom number 210. This
is actually a really beautiful one
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:47
			this just really short and sweet
and it's right to the point is
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:52
			what if nada Illa al Iskander, he
says he says ma che and il
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:56
			Quintella who have done well who
Allah you hippo and Hakuna the
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:02
			lady here Abdon absolute rule of
life, ma che and Illa Candela who
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:05
			are often well who are your
headboard and the corner the lady
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:12
			here Hampton. You have not loved
anything without being its slave.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			What it means is that whenever you
love anything, you will become its
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			slave. That's what love does to
you. You can't help it if you have
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:24
			pure love for something like
genuine love for something, you
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			will
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			according to the studies on love.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:34
			Love is one of those emotions that
when it overtakes you, it makes
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:39
			you at your most selfless. It
brings you in your most selfless
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:44
			state, your selfishness goes away.
When you love something, you're
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:47
			willing to give it all you will
give you a full sacrifice, and you
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			become totally
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			selfless and committed to it.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:58
			In other words, he is saying give
nada la saying he's rephrasing
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			that he's saying you will become a
slave because you're willing to do
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:04
			anything for it. You don't matter
anymore. When you have somebody
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:08
			you love so much you don't
yourself. No longer matters. It's
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			all about the other person.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			It's an amazing feeling. The
prophets, Allah lorrison said it
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:18
			like this and her book has shed
your army where you seem your love
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			for something will blind you and
defend you
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			from anything else, including
yourself in many cases.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			You just worried about your love,
you're willing to sacrifice
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			yourself that's why people commit
suicide when he can't have the
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			worldly love anymore.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:38
			with Allah subhanho wa Taala you
never have to have that kind of
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:42
			sacrifice, meaning you don't have
to commit suicide. Because Allah
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:47
			is always living is the living one
Hayyan a human so you've never
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:51
			loved anything without becoming a
slave. And they said something
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			that he says but he does not want
you to be someone else's slave.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			So if you love anything, you will
become enslaved
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			But Allah doesn't want you to be
anybody else's slave because he is
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			your master, he created you. So
why should you be anybody else's
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:11
			slave? Which means that you can't
live anything else except Allah.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			If you want to live anything else
he needs to be for the sake of
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			Allah through Allah and by Allah.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			So just because you love Allah
doesn't mean you will No, no, you
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24
			don't love anything else. It's
just that you love it for the sake
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			of Allah. So it's actually love
for Allah.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			He loves your parents because
Allah subhanaw taala said, so you
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			love your children, you love your
spouse because Allah said so. So
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			that's love for Allah subhanho wa
Taala but your love must be
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:41
			primarily for ALLAH SubhanA wa
Tada to an amazing aphorism. You
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44
			have not loved anything without
becoming its slave. But he does
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:49
			not want you to be anybody else's
slave, which is a message to say
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			that you can't love anything else.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54
			May Allah subhanaw taala remove
this love that we have for
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			anything else, then life becomes
easy. That is the answer to
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:02
			everything. Allahumma zakenna
hubback Oh, Allah, grant us your
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:02
			love.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:08
			So what he's essentially saying
here is that ALCL the heart is
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:13
			this thing that we have, which
everybody should have, we do say
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:17
			that he doesn't have a heart.
Because he's just so overwhelmed
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:21
			with level crazy things that they
don't have a love that you expect
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:26
			people to have love of decency,
love of compassion and empathy,
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29
			they don't have that. Because
they're just so focused on some
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:32
			things, he doesn't even have a
heart. That's just because they're
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:35
			overtaken, he doesn't have a
heart, but the heart is overtaken,
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			it's dominated by something else,
love of something else, which has
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:43
			become slave to the wrong thing.
And it doesn't become safe to the
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:47
			wrong thing. That's the thing. So
he says that whenever anybody
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:51
			loves anything, they will fully
focus on it, they will fully go
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:56
			after it. And they will submit to
it. They will humble themselves to
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:56
			that thing.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:02
			And they will be willing to obey
it and be obedient to that thing.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			Whatever that thing demands from
you, people are willing to do
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			crazy things.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:12
			People are willing to stand
overnight in long queues, because
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:16
			they love a product for some
reason. A product that's gonna get
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			old within a few days that you
have it in probably get bored of
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			it
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23
			is definitely going to become old
in a few months, and something
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			else is going to come up are you
willing to go overnight with that
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			sounds kind of crazy.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:33
			You're willing to fight to defend
something that you support, even
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:37
			though those that you support,
don't even know you.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:41
			Don't give you anything. You're
not even making any money of it.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:45
			But you're willing to fight with
people just because you heard them
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:50
			criticize your team. mazing isn't
it? What an amazing emotion that
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:51
			is?
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:56
			quite fascinating idea that you're
willing to fight with somebody
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:00
			else, quarrel with them, break
ties with them, swear at them,
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:05
			curse them, because they said
something about someone that you
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:09
			support a team that you support,
even though that team doesn't
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:14
			benefit you in any way, except
that you support and they excite
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			you.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			That's all emotion.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:22
			If they any of those players saw
you they wouldn't even know who
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			you are.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:27
			Right? They don't even care for
you to be honest. You make no
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			money from this you make nothing
from this.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:35
			But mashallah you love something
so much that you're willing to put
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:40
			to their name onto your number
plates. And you pay for that.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:46
			And it's a designer, it's maybe a
what you call a designer brands
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:50
			who want your money anyway. And
you're giving them free promotion,
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:54
			they didn't pay for your number
plates. You just love it so much.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:59
			Because you buy their products,
you buy their products, you pay
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:03
			extra money to buy their products,
you earn everything from that
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:07
			particular brand. And then
mashallah you advertise it as well
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			for free. That's crazy.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:14
			That brand is very successful that
has made you do that.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:20
			But that's human emotion. That's
human emotion as multiple causes
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:23
			for that and this is exactly what
he's speaking, you will become the
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:28
			slave. That is why the poet says
in Malmo, Heba Lima your hippo
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:35
			will to the lover is an absolute
is absolutely obedient to the one
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:39
			he loves. You can have a very,
very powerful person you give him
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:43
			and that person develops a proper
genuine love for something good or
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:46
			bad, whatever it is, that become
their slave.
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:50
			They're the only is always access
to someone is always access to
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:53
			someone through their beloved
through what they like. That's
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56
			what they say, find what they
like, and you can control them.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			So then what the what our
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			Commentator is saying is that
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:07
			this concept of love that is for
multiple things, this actually is
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:11
			what is Robu do for Allah this is
actually servitude for Allah that
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			is what's required if you take
that example of somebody
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:19
			supporting their team supporting a
product and and so on. Right and
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:23
			you put that you put Allah
subhanaw taala in that place, that
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:26
			is what it's supposed to be that
is actually what Allah wanted from
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			us because Allah says
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33
			that the people who believe they
are most intense in their love for
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			Allah
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:39
			that's really if we can somehow
you know if you know how to love
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:42
			something you're crazy about your
love for something that mashallah
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:45
			you know how to love you just need
to replace that with Allah was
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:49
			like just slip that thing off and
put a light in that place and
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:52
			mashallah, you've done it because
you know how to be obsessed. You
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			know how to love.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58
			So he says, This is how he got a
little booty here. This is the
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:02
			reality of servitude. This is how
it should be. This is the
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:07
			experience of it. A hoodoo
Ouattara absolute humility, and
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:12
			absolute obedience, you're humbled
in front of that thing. Like if
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:16
			you if that thing came in front of
you just wow. See if the gift of a
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:21
			iPad, like a really expensive
iPad, he didn't want it for you as
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:26
			an overkill for tried to sell it.
So somebody told him that this
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:30
			particular guy, he's really into
his a Apple products. So he went
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:33
			to him and he said, You know, I'm
willing, do you want to buy this?
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:38
			So the guy looks at it admiringly?
And is like, Who wouldn't want
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:42
			another i Who wouldn't want as I
remember the words, who wouldn't
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			want another apple product?
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:48
			Right, because a really expensive
I but he says the opponent just
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:51
			bought something and I'm out of
money, so I can't take it. But it
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:56
			just that admiration was amazing.
Just so I can have another apple
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:56
			products.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:11:58
			Swan Allah.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:06
			I wish I could just have another
moment to see the GABA just some
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:06
			more time
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			in the huddle in the reality,
Jana.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:15
			Now then he says, but the problem
is right, this he then
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:20
			problematizes this, he says that
you need to be fully servitude to
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22
			something full servitude to
something but then he says the
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:28
			problem is that human has only his
heart has only one direction. The
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:32
			human heart can only be focused on
one thing fully, partially in many
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:36
			things, but fully only on one
thing. And the human only has one
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:40
			heart. Allah subhanaw taala says
Magette Allah with the origin in
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:42
			men called the UniFi JioFi.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:47
			For any man, Allah subhanho wa
Taala has only put one heart in
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:51
			there inside them as really
interesting. Allah says Rajul
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:55
			rather than insan because
sometimes women do have two hearts
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			when they've got the child and so
it's very interesting.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			So when the HUD has just one
direction
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:12
			if they eventually do find their
main love and Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:15
			towards their master, if they do
become focused like that on their
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:19
			master, they will then everything
else will paint in significance
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:20
			and it'll all become
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:23
			like a shadow.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:29
			Everything else pale in its and
then a person will become fully a
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30
			slave to Allah subhana wa Darna.
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:36
			However, on the other hand, if a
person becomes fully obsessed, by
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:39
			fulfilling their desires, because
you've got some money now, well,
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			you don't have money, but you're
just waiting to get some money,
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			where you have the money and you
can buy what you want. So then you
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:46
			buy and you buy and you buy and
you buy because you have, then
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:49
			that means you become we become
slaves to our desires.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:54
			Then what happens then is you're
definitely not going to be able to
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			be focused on Allah subhanho wa
taala, it'll become second place,
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:59
			third place fourth place because
there'll be so many first place
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:05
			and that a person is going to
become slave to anything else and
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:09
			everything else. Why would the
person work so hard them to make
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:13
			that money so that they can
fulfill their desires? What drives
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:18
			you to do that? What drives you to
be jealous of somebody else? What
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:22
			drives you to compete in that
sense, even though you've got
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:23
			enough to survive on
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:29
			now the problem is he says Allah
subhanho wa Taala is never
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:33
			satisfied with any of his
servants, becoming servants of
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:37
			others. Why would you? You're the
one who gave them gave them
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:41
			existence in this world and now
they are turning to others as
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			though they're gonna get something
from them.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:45
			Now it's,
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:50
			it might be understandable that
you become slave to somebody who
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:54
			is giving you a lot but most of us
are slaves to things that is not
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56
			giving us anything. We have to
give it everything.
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			That's why Allah subhanho wa Taala
says some
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			In the Quran, the verse that I
read earlier from Surah Al Jaffe
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:08
			and verse 23, for our eight,
Amanita ILAHA, who have you seen
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:14
			the one who has taken his Lord as
His desires, so his desires or his
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:17
			Lord, that literally that's what
Allah is saying, This is what
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:20
			people do, that they've taken
their desires as the Lord.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			What Allah Allah Who are their
ailment, there's multiple ways to
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:27
			read this. But Allah subhanaw
taala den has let him stray
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:30
			because of his knowledge of what
this person was going to do. He's
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:34
			left him alone to do that, then
let him straight, right. And then
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:37
			after that, when he gets really
bad, Allah says, Will Hamada
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:41
			summary, Allah subhanho wa Taala
then puts a seal on their ears, on
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:46
			their hearing, and on their heart,
and a veil over their eyes or
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:47
			their sight.
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:51
			So then, after Allah subhana, wa
taala, or beyond the law, who's
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53
			going to be able to guide this
person,
		
00:15:54 --> 00:16:00
			meaning Allahu Akbar, what this
seems to indicate here is that
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:05
			when a person becomes so fixated
on other things, and becomes the
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:09
			slave of those things, then
eventually Allah gets so angry,
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:15
			that He then puts a veil, on their
ears, on their site, and on their
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:18
			heart, so then they won't be able
to come out of that.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:24
			So then they stay down in that
they stay, and they just so
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:27
			focused on everything else. And it
becomes difficult for them to get
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:32
			out of that. Unless, somehow they
find the little room in there to
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:35
			call on Allah subhanho wa taala,
then Allah extracts them. So then
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:38
			they just don't see what's wrong,
because they think this is what it
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:43
			is. So then the commentator says
that this idea is clear, explicit
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:44
			with regards to
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:50
			making anything, the repugnance
and the ugliness of making
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:51
			anything else your Lord.
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:59
			Now, just as a little quick side
point, there are some of the
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:02
			scholars of
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:10
			spirituality who've completely
agree with what explanation I've
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:18
			just given for this iron. However,
they are always looking for an
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:23
			alternative reading, while not
dismissing the main reading. So
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:25
			it's kind of really interesting
what they've come up with, though
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:28
			we're not going to insist on that,
because that's just an
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:32
			implication. So they what they
saying that have you seen, the one
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:35
			who has made his Lord, His desire
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:45
			his lord is his hit, who has made
his Lord His desire, which is in
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:46
			the other way, which means that
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:53
			my desire is entirely for my lord,
my lord is the object of my
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			desire.
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			And Allah subhanahu wa Tada.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			He says,
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:06
			Allah subhanho wa Taala has now
Let him remain.
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:14
			Allah subhanho wa Taala has Let
him remain going around, in his in
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:18
			his love, his let him stray in his
love, like he can go wherever he
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:22
			wants, stumbling around in the
love of Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			And Allah subhanho wa Taala has
put a
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:29
			veil over his,
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:34
			his ears, his hearing and
everything, so he sees nothing but
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:35
			Allah.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:38
			They've taken in that meaning
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:43
			while saying that it's just
another way of reading it. But
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:44
			they don't insist on that meaning.
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:49
			And then he says, who is going to
give guidance to such a person
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:52
			such guidance, such a great
guidance besides Allah subhanho wa
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:56
			Taala who can give you guidance
makes absolute sense in terms of
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:57
			the explanation
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:00
			La ilaha IL Allah.
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:07
			Right. Now, there's some Hadith in
Sahih al Bukhari, there's a hadith
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:10
			which whenever I see that the way
the prophets Allah, some said it
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:15
			was amazing. And we just have to
put a more modern iteration to it
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:19
			because people's objects of luxury
have changed. So the Prophet
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:22
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
Teresa Butina you wouldn't get
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:23
			home
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:29
			destroyed and perish is the slave
of dinars and Durham's
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:33
			pounds and dollars and whatever,
you know, whichever currency you
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:37
			want to speak about President
dinar and dill Holmes, he says,
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:43
			well, Pettyfer Well, Camila and so
on. So that was really expensive
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:48
			sheets, expensive wraps expensive
cloth. So in those days, that
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:52
			would be the kind of assets you
would have. So today, it would be
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			designer goods.
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:57
			Right today would be designer
goods. Literally, that's what the
		
00:19:57 --> 00:20:00
			person was saying that these kinds
of expensive products that
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			People are just so after all the
time, you can have them but just
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06
			don't be a slave to them. And he
said was xojo
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:10
			the slave of their spouse?
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:15
			It could be either way but he said
wife so he's talking to a man
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:16
			slave of their wife.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:22
			Junaid Al Baghdadi somebody asked
him many lab who's a slave.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:26
			He says the one in whose hearts
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:32
			there is any connection with other
than Allah subhana wa Tada as long
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			as you got some connection with
others and ALLAH SubhanA you're
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:37
			still a slave, meaning not a slave
of Allah, but the bad sleep.
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:42
			He says because, you know, in the
early days when you have slaves,
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:47
			the Sharia Had Allah subhanaw
taala and Quran found multiple
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:50
			ways to free them, right? One of
them was that look, if you don't
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:53
			want to free them for free, then
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:57
			give them a charge, make a
contract with them that you pay,
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			you go on work, pay me this much
money and then you can free
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:02
			yourself that becomes like a very
specific type of say where they
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:06
			become semi free, right because
they can go on work for
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:09
			themselves. And then when they got
enough money, they can give it to
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:13
			the the master they still receive
at the end of the day. Because if
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:16
			they can't make up that kind of
money, they go back to being a
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:19
			slave. Ultimately, they still a
slave even though they're more
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:22
			independent than other slaves. So
he's so he's using that as an
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:26
			example that as long as he's got
one down left to pay a pound left
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			to pay. He's still a slave.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:34
			And then he says okay, who is a
free person who is the truly free
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:37
			person so Junaid Al Baghdadi says
the one who has been able to
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:43
			escape and extract himself from
the slave flung from this
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:50
			servitude of his own self. And he
no longer has those full desires
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			for anything else.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			Now look at this, this is the way
the show you have that time used
		
00:21:55 --> 00:22:01
			to treat used to teach and nurture
their students. Right. Now
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:04
			remember, put this in context,
this is not something that you can
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:07
			do at home necessarily right with
your children or yourself or your
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:11
			wife or your spouse or your
husband. Right? So listen, Shibley
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:14
			is Shibley Rahima, who lives
consider one of those ollie up
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:17
			pious, really pious individuals of
the past. He had a student
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:21
			somebody gave the student of his a
nice, Juba.
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:26
			Right one of these nice cloaks.
Now,
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:31
			the shake Shibley Rahimullah had a
really, really nice hat.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:37
			Now, it just so turns out that
this student looks at that hand
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:43
			thinks that hat would go very,
very well with my Jabba. He
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:48
			desires it. Okay. Now, somehow
Shibley figures this out, right?
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			Because he must have seen him
just, you know, stay with somebody
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:55
			so long, you understand? So what
he does the shake fair, finds it
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:59
			out, tells me to take the job off,
takes his hat off
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			and then goes and throws it in the
fire
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:05
			off of him.
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:13
			Right? Don't do this at home.
Okay, he does that. And then he
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:18
			says to him, there should be no,
absolutely no attention paid to
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:24
			anybody but Allah. So let this hat
go to * essentially. And let
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:28
			this job ago, they should not
distract you.
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:35
			I mean, this is the likes of the
sahabi who was sitting in his
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:39
			orchard who was praying Salat in
his orchard. And in between,
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:43
			there's a nice bird or something
got distracted with it. It gives
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:45
			this whole orchard in the path of
Allah, this distracted me from my
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:49
			prayer. This is sunnah to do this,
but
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:54
			you can only do it once you get a
heart that's really prepared
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:58
			otherwise, you start giving away
everything. And then you're going
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:01
			to be miserable. And shaytan will
overtake you and pigment or kind
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:05
			of life to you. So don't do that.
That's why even when Josie says
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:06
			that people get a bit,
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:10
			get a bit excited about leaving
the dunya. So they give up their
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:13
			business they give up everything.
And they they okay for about a
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:16
			month or two because you know, the
adrenaline and everything is
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:20
			keeping them going. And then after
that, when the going gets tough,
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:23
			they become very miserable. You
can't do this without having a
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:26
			proper heart with and without that
love then you can bear anything.
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:29
			Now there may be somebody who's
actually criticized Shibley for
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:33
			doing this. What did you just do?
Says you won't understand that
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			because this was thought to be a
this was training in action.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:38
			Right? Otherwise we don't throw
things away like that. But this
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:44
			was to teach a lesson Subhanallah
anyway, what is the muhabba of
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:48
			ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. So there
are three stages to the love of
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:50
			Allah. We're going to just talk
about it briefly. We don't have
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:53
			too much time to go into that.
We've discussed this multiple
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:57
			times before but there are three
stages in the law of Allah. Let's
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:58
			find out where we are.
		
00:24:59 --> 00:24:59
			Right
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:05
			So the first stage, because the
first stage of it is just that you
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:08
			fulfill the obligations of Allah
and you avoid the prohibitions of
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:09
			Allah.
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:13
			If we can do that, that means that
you have some love for Allah. If
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:16
			we're struggling with that, then
that's the first stage already,
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:21
			you know, in problem because Allah
subhanaw taala says call In Kuntum
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:26
			to hipbone Allah, for Toby Rooney,
you've come along. So that's the
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:27
			first stage.
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:33
			Lay saying say that if you love
Allah, then follow me. And Allah
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:35
			will love you. So if you follow
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:39
			salam Colosse, then Allah, we love
you, you love Allah. That's the
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:44
			first stage. The middle of stage,
he says, is Lucha Julie Sandy with
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:48
			Viken, where your tongue is
constantly on the remembrance of
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:51
			Allah. So it goes from just
obligate, just fulfilling
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:55
			obligations and avoiding
prohibitions to then be constantly
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:56
			remembering him with your tongue
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:02
			and your heart. So your heart is
constantly you know, conscious of
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:04
			him, your tongue is constantly
remembering him Subhanallah at
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:08
			hamdulillah Allahu Akbar, La ilaha
illa Allah, you're constantly
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:11
			reading something, it's on your
tongue, Allah, whatever it is, and
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:15
			in your heart. And then he says,
Okay, what is the state hired?
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:18
			What is the last stage or the
highest stage the ultimate stage?
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:22
			He then says, I'm really sorry,
but new hire to holla to the
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:23
			recovery borrow,
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:27
			its highest stage cannot be
explained. It cannot be
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:31
			articulated with any words, that
is a matter of taste and
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:35
			experience that cannot be imparted
to anybody else. And you can't
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:37
			explain that to anybody else.
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:42
			Subhanallah there's a poem by poet
who is saying the following which
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:48
			is indicating towards a state
Philip Kerr il Allahu La Vallejo.
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:54
			Habib going live colbyn Verba and
Condi Mac city, honey and lemon
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:59
			curd Nether hub but Habibi will
harder be Turkey lady a chroma mo
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:05
			ready. Now Iman Bella had in La de
mucha, daddy, other other dill.
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:07
			And first if you call the machete,
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:11
			he kind of gives some indication
of where he is with this, he says
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:15
			that, besides Allah, there is
nothing that has remained, there
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:21
			is no Lord aside from him, a
beloved in the hearts in a heart,
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:24
			which has totally become oblivious
of anything else and everything
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:25
			else.
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:31
			So glad tidings for the one who
has attained the love of his
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:37
			beloved and has been able to take
a deep dive, by abandoning all
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:44
			else, into the best of into the
best of pools, into the best of
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:50
			pools. This is such a blessing
that has no limits, that has no,
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:56
			no limit. Right, and it is
constantly being renewed. It is a
		
00:27:56 --> 00:28:01
			constantly renewed form of
blessing that brings you great
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:05
			benefits other other delivers, how
many times is it being renewed,
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:09
			meaning this blessing will give
you so much excitement, that it
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:14
			will be an everlasting excitement
that changes and that refreshes
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:20
			itself with every single with
every single breath in as with
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:25
			every observation that you make, I
mean, you can only experience that
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:29
			I mean, that's very, very
difficult to explain. Subhanallah
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:34
			so then the commentator actually
says that look, these kinds of
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:40
			things. This last stage is such
that common people and even many
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:44
			elect people, special people can't
even figure this out. Why in the
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:49
			Maya Dooku ha ha certain fossa.
The only people that will really
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:53
			understand this and taste it and
experience it other very special
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:54
			of the special ones.
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:59
			May Allah make us on that one day
I say that kind of. I wish I could
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:02
			say that more seriously. I say
that half hearted he
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:06
			unfortunately, because he just
seems so difficult to attain, but
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:09
			at least we can ask Allah to
facilitate for us some otherwise
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:12
			he just finds like where are we
going to get that from where it's
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:15
			a special of the special? Like
there's asylees and the Gilani is
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:20
			how you're going to get to that
level. But for an Allah nothing is
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:24
			complicated, we can at least hope
for it. Or we can make an effort
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:27
			to get somewhere. Now one thing
one thing we have to understand is
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:31
			that the meaning of loving ALLAH
SubhanA wa Tada is that we love
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:35
			him, not because he needs our love
and not because he benefits from
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:35
			that.
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:40
			It's because it's beneficial for
us because that fulfills the
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:43
			ultimate purpose for which we were
made. Then Allah will reward us
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:46
			and he wants to reward us. He just
wants an excuse to reward us
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:50
			suddenly he'll reward us. Allah
becoming Allah loving is seven
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:52
			means that Allah will make
somebody close to him.
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:57
			That's what it means when Allah
begins to love than Allah will
		
00:29:57 --> 00:30:00
			make and draw somebody close to
him. So we
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:03
			Ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to
make this part easy and to bless
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:07
			us in this regard to facilitate it
for us, Chef Abdullah Ganga he
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:11
			says, in his commentary of this,
he says when man loves on this
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:15
			earth, anything besides Allah, he
becomes its slave. Because of the
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:18
			deep relationship that develops.
This is just human emotion. That's
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:22
			human nature, right? The object of
love can be love of wealth, or
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:26
			enslaving love of spouses and
children, somebody could just love
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:28
			their children spouse so much that
they just do everything for them.
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:33
			And forget about Allah. believe
me, believe me, if you love Allah,
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:36
			you can love your spouse and
children for the sake of Allah and
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:37
			you'll get much more happiness.
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41
			People think that you're going to
become some kind of crazy person
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:45
			who goes around right saying I
love God and cares about nothing
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:49
			else is some disheveled hair, and
soiled clothing. That's not the
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:52
			case. That's image zoob. That's a
very special category of people
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:55
			who've lost their senses, which is
not recommended.
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:59
			I mean, that they are accountable
because they've lost their sense
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:03
			of but that's not something that
you hope to do. What we hope to do
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:07
			is to be true human beings with
proper love for Allah and this
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:10
			love for everything else around
it. Then you will see how your
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:14
			children make you happy when they
give some sadaqa. Your children
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:16
			make you happy when they pray,
when they get off at the 100.
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:20
			Right, when they are also loving
Allah, then you'll see the
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:23
			happiness and that would be true
happiness. May Allah make that
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:26
			easy for us. That's why he says
separation from such an object of
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:28
			love will produce grief. That's
the problem because they all are
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:32
			going to go anything besides Allah
is going to disappear, is going to
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:36
			dissipate, it's going to become
sick, it's going to die, then what
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:37
			happens then?
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:41
			This then is the meaning of
enslavement to the object of one's
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:43
			love. It should, however, be
understood that the love of
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:48
			worldly objects that is detestable
is such a love that induces the
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:50
			slave to ignore the sacred law
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:54
			where the lover devotes himself to
the object of love, even if the
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:56
			love leads to the violation of the
law.
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:00
			If somebody loves the Quran, loves
the Hadith loves the Prophet
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:04
			sallallahu Sallam then that is
love for Allah. There's nothing
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:06
			wrong with that loves to help
people and assist people for the
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:08
			sake of Allah that Allah for
Allah.
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:13
			If priority is according to the
sacred law, thus keeping the love
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:18
			subservient, then the natural love
one has for certain matters, such
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:21
			as children or relatives is not
abominable.
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:27
			In fact, this love is part of the
Prophetic practice sunnah in such
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:32
			instances, because it's all
governed by the obedience to Allah

			so many things that
		
00:33:56 --> 00:34:00

			The point of a lecture is to
encourage people to act to get
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:16
			further an inspiration and
encouragement suasion. The next
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:20
			step is to actually start learning
seriously to read books to take on
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:23
			that subject of Islam and to
understand all the subjects of
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:27
			Islam at least at the basic level,
so that we can become more aware
		
00:34:27 --> 00:34:31
			of what our deen wants from us.
And that's why we started Rayyan

			courses so that you can actually
take organize lectures on demand
